Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -By the time a girl enters puberty, only about 25% of her lifetime total egg pool remains, around 300, 000. Over the next 30-40 years of a female’s reproductive life, the entire egg supply will be depleted.

Detailed explanation-2: -By the time a woman is born, they have 1-2 million eggs remaining, and by the time they hit puberty, they have around 300, 000-400, 000 eggs. In a woman’s reproductive years, they will lose roughly 1000 eggs but ovulate only one egg each month.

Detailed explanation-3: -At birth, there are approximately 1 million eggs left. By the time you reach puberty, only about 300, 000 remain. The number of eggs you have continues to decline as you age and menstruate each cycle. Fertility also declines with age due to the decreasing number and quality of your remaining eggs.

Detailed explanation-4: -A woman is born with all her eggs. Once she starts her periods, 1 egg develops and is released during each menstrual cycle.
